Google and Facebook. Like it or not those two are already in the double-digit percentage.

  Google and Facebook made real dents in the universe? Well, I see your Google and FB and will raise you a humble washing machine and the invention of the pill. Both changed the world for half the population :-)

    Well, not literally half the population for either of those. Or do you mean half the US population?

  And they do exactly what? Cleaner? No. More productive? In which terms? Safer? Nope. Happier? I have my doubts that people were less happy before Google + FB were invented.

    Facebook has made hiring safer. And probably dating, too.

    I actually am suspicious if you are being serious or just trolling, but lets answer anyway. Lets talk about Google. Productive in absolutely all possible ways. Cleaner? Yes Safer? Yes. Happier? Happiness can't be a metric because its way too subjective. Cleaner? People don't need to go to a public library for any question they have; so yes. Also many people used to print before they know they could find anything anytime on the internet; so studying required a lot of printer ink and paper. More productive? In the term that you search absolutely anything related to your field and you find it instantly; sometimes you don't even have to click the page because the summary already answer your question. The pages saved in cache are awesome feature. Safer? People relies on their own gut much less than before; instead they do a quick search in Google about how to do something wish usually includes safety recommendations about the task. I know I am giving Google properties that are part of overall internet; but if a house doesn't have any entering door It is useless doesn't matter how full and complete is inside.
